We investigate the segmental and local dynamics as well as the transport of Li(+) cations in a series of model poly(ethylene oxide)-based single-ion conductors with varying ion content, using dielectric relaxation spectroscopy. We observe a slowing down of segmental dynamics and an increase in glass transition temperature above a critical ion content, as well as the appearance of an additional ...

although inter-variety variability for salt tolerance has been reported in bread wheat plants, little information is available on the genetic control of ion contents and biomass yield under saline conditions. a diallel cross, including reciprocals of two salt tolerant, two moderately tolerant and two sensitive iranian and exotic bread wheat varieties, was analyzed to investigate the inheritance...

The physiological and biochemical responses of three ecotypes of Artemisia absinthium L. from Iran were evaluated under salinity conditions. Salinity treatments were made by NaCl with EC of 0, 5, 10 and 15 dS/m.   Physiological and biochemical attributes were measured 30 days after the salt treatments imposed. Highest reduction in the shoot and root fresh weights was observed in the ecotypes of...

Strangeness production in heavy ion collisions at relativistic energies provides one of the key information about the reaction mechanism and could indicate the onset of new phenomena. The attempts to describe the measured particle ratios including strange hadrons at AGS and SPS and recently also at RHIC using a strangeness fugacity are very successful [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. However, the usual grand-c...

Ammonium sulfate is one of the subsidiary components in the stealth liposome structure. The ratio of ammonium ion bound to liposome sphere to ammonium ions outside the liposome plays an important role in drug delivery formulation; accordingly, in order to quantify the ammonium ion in the liposome structure, a rapid and sensitive method was validated using a conductivity detector. Through this m...

chloride ion ingress in concrete is the main reason of concrete corrosion. in real world both uncertainty and stochasticity are main attributes of almost all measurements including testing and modeling of chloride content profile in concrete. regarding these facts new models should be able to represent at least some of the uncertainties in the predictions. in this paper after inspiration from c...

in order to evaluate the effect of salinity on water relation, ion accumulation, solute sugar, proline content, chlorophyll florescence and seed yield of isabgul (plantago ovata), french psyllium (p. psyllium) and great plantain (p. major), an experiment was conducted at vali-e-asr university of rafsanjan in 2010. this study was carried out as factorial experiment based on randomized complete b...
